Welcome! Your story was really touching!

Be proud that you left and can come to the realization that you can think for yourself right now. It's a shame that the religion takes so much of your childhood . .there are plenty of stories on here of people who agree with that.

Stick around, you are with friends now.
One of the few things that gives me joy is knowing and thinking of the fact that I left the JW Church of Satan. I left with a bang too. Because when I was dunked or as JW's call it baptized I I was 12 and I could not read or even spell my own name. How is that possible? anyhow so I went and confronted the elder that allowed my mother to read the questions for me and told him off. I have to admit that gave me some kind of consolation. And my whole family is into this cult. So I'm pretty much alone in the family department. The only thing I secretly listened to as a kid because I could not read was music and on the top of my list was Tool. I don't think I could have made it this far without them and their music; Metallica too. They have no right o baptize and force kids to undergo those religious oaths. They are so wrong; I feel like I was religiously raped.
